Scribbles About Food: New Starbucks Lemon Bar Frap!

Heyyy guys! Exciting news: Starbucks released 6 new Frappucinos and I'm going to have to try them all... but the one that stuck out to me was the Lemon Bar Frap! It seemed the most different to me and I was excited to give this one a try!

So my Starbucks is cooler than yours... lol. No but the Barristas are super nice and really good an mine added extra lemonade... so the one I got had a ton of flavor to it! Also she added graham crackers on top, they didn't have the caramel sugar that was supposed to be on top and the graham cracker made it better in my opinion anyway...

When I first tasted it it tasted like straight up Lemon meringue pie. It was so amazing! The lemon flavor was really good and it tasted pretty much like I expected it to taste. Which is something like Chick Fil A's Lemon Meringue Pie. I no longer support Chick Fil A... but this was the first experience I had ever had with Lemon Meringue Pie and it was quite tasty. So all lemon Meringue Pies have since been compared to Chick Fil A because that's the first one I had... and none can really compare lol. Except this.

So the first few sips were absolutely out of this world... then I kind of just started drinking it and its not that it was bad... but the more I started drinking it the more it just tasted like lemonade to me. Just like a frozen lemonade. It wasn't bad at all... but it wasn't exactly as Lemon Bar as it was lemonade. If you mix it a little bit and especially mix it with the whipped cream, it keeps the lemon bar flavor a bit more. It tastes absolutely wonderful.

Now is this better than Cool Ranch Doritos... its on par. The flavor sophistication is there. I don't totally know if they're comparable... but yes its better than Cool Ranch Doritos for arguments sake. I drank this today, I didn't eat Cool Ranch Doritos. I am sort of trying to eat less junk and stay healthier, so it was kind of me choosing this instead of cool ranch doritos, and it was a good trade off. I was happy.

What it reminded me of a lot... which makes me incredibly excited for it... years ago Snapple did something called Snapple Pie and they had an Apple Pie flavor... out of this world! It really REALLY tasted like apple pie, but like a really good apple cry. The crust consistency was there, but it worked... it was really good. I loved it and wish they brought it back because it was awesome. This is the closest thing to that that I've tried. This Snapple Pie was made... over 10 years ago. It makes me really happy. I'm happy about that. And yes, I'd say its probably better than Apple Pie Snapple. Soooo... thats even better!

Let me know if you tried this and if you liked it! I would definitely recommend it! Really cool!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
